Superman

History
Superman is the sole survivor of the planet Krypton. His father, Jor-El,
discovered that a nuclear chain reaction was building inside Krypton that would soon
shatter the entire world. Jor-El therefore had his unborn son Kal-El removed from the
Kryptonian Gestation Chambers and affixed the life matrix containing Kal-El to an
experimental vessel for travel through hyperspace. Jor-El launched the starcraft toward
Earth just before Krypton exploded.
Superman was, in effect, born on Earth when the starcraft landed there. Jonathan and
Martha Kent found the infant inside the vessel and brought him to their farm in
Smallville, Kansas. Since he appeared entirely human, the Kent’s assumed that
the baby was a victim of a cruel experiment. At this time the baby had no super
powers. The Kent’s named the infant Clark and raised him as their own son.

As Clark grew older his Kryptonian body began developing


superhuman abilities. When Clark was eighteen, took him to
the field where his starcraft still lay hidden and explained
how he and Martha had found him. Clark resolved to use his
powers from then on only for the good of mankind. After
revealing his secret to his childhood friend, Lana Lang, Clark
left Smallville to study at Metropolis University where he
eventually took on the role and costume of Superman in his
mid-20’s.
